About the Opportunity:

The CCO-in-Training (CCIT) Program is a 12-week, full time paid executive training program designed to prepare outstanding leaders for an opportunity to lead and manage clinical services and teams in a home health, hospice, or home care setting.

Successful CCIT graduates may advance to lead one of our thriving agencies or future agencies, with continued mentorship and operational support from experienced clinical partners.
